Has anyone else besides me noticed how much Chad Smith, drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers looks like comedian/actor Will Farrell? That’s Chad above, on the cover of the June Issue of Modern Drummer and here’s Will below. Check it out:
They could totally be the same person.
Anyhoo, be sure to pick up a copy of the latest issue of Modern Drummer so you can read my amazing update with Sammy Seigler from the band Nightmare of You.
Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters is looking all “stoner rock” on the cover of the May 2006 issue of Modern Drummer magazine. Inside its fascinating, drum-riddled pages (and also on the web), you’ll find my update on drummer Tennessee Thomas of The Like. Her dad Pete Thomas plays drums for Elvis Costello!
What can I say about Gail except for that she’s picked an obscure kid out of the underground and brought me to the forefront of the highly respected pages of Modern Drummer because she’s a fan of the music. She’s right in the front row of the pit, sweating it out with all the other misfits because she wants to be there experiencing the full impact of what a band can generate on stage! My interview with Gail was comfortable and fun and I can’t thank her enough for all the help and advice she’s given me. It’s because of her that my Mom can now look at the pages of Modern Drummer and think that I’m not a complete failure . . .thank you Gail!
